Green Terror/Gold Saum???

[crenicichlacrazy]

What is the difference between the 2 fish. I know the GT has white edge fins and the gs has orange edge fins. Other that that whats the difference? Are they actually 2 different species or just color var. of the same species? I was thinking of getting a few from rapps but I want REAL Green Terrors..... I guess if there is such a thing.... Just don't want to say I have a GT and someone go oh no thats a gold or silver saum. Just confused on this whole subject. Please Help!

aww man, sorry bro but this topic has been discussed and debated for some time.
True green terror is a the real GT from south america
GoldSaum and SilverSaum are just regional variants of the Aequediens Rivulatus. They are supposed to be called GoldSaum and Silver Saum but people and LFS call them Green terrors, why? i dont know, just the way it is.
all in all they are the same fish just different colors variants.
any of the three are great fish to keep.

Like above, some differences are that the saums get slightly larger and are more aggressive than the true gt.
